It's not often that the goalie for any Longmeadow High School girls lacrosse team gets credit for stealing a game.

With the amount of goals the Lancers usually score, and the quality of their defense, their goalies don't always see a lot of shots.

However, when faced with archrival Minnechaug Regional on Monday, Longmeadow goalie Zoe Ochoa was up to the task of stopping the Falcons' high-powered offense.

Ochoa, a senior, made 12 saves to preserve a 19-15 victory for the Lancers against their top competition in the Valley Wheel. Krissy Schafer and Cailin Pandolfi led the offense with five goals and an assist apiece.

"She's a very good goalie," Minnechaug coach Dave Yelle said. "It makes them tough to beat."

Minnechaug bounced back from two separate four-goal deficits to take a 14-13 lead. From there, though, a deeper Longmeadow squad was able to deal with the high humidity and remain fresh.

Sarah Martin paced Minnechaug with five goals and an assist, giving her 108 for the season.
